Party Etiquette
So lets go over how parties work. Normally, when someone throws a party, they provide the place, food and drinks, right? OR, they provide the place, and ask everyone else to chip in for food and drinks.
Well, I go to a party last night, and in the invite it says nothing about bringing your own anything. So we assume, that they will be providing everything since it is at their house. Well we get there around 9:00, have a few mixed drinks, and by midnight we're getting a little hungry. Now normally I'd leave and get some pizza or something, BUT I was drinking, and I'm not one to drink and drive no matter how much I've had. So I start to look around the kitchen, thinking they would have food for people. There was some bread laying out, some pop tarts, some chips, things like that. So, I have a few slices of bread and a poptart. Well someone yells at me saying "Why are you eating my poptarts, you still owe me chips from last time!?" which, I would like to add at this point, I did NOT eat all on my own. This is where I would like to ask, if you do NOT want people eating your food and drinking your drinks, WHY have them over, and WHY not tell them to bring their own stuff?!?! This makes me mad.
Another thing about this party... if there are cops sitting outside your house cause you live near Texas St (SETCHIEST part of town) do NOT bring out your WEED and carry it around with you! Are you STUPID!? and don't stand around and yell at everyone to shut up, when you're standing there yelling as well!
Anyway, as I was trying to sleep at 3 in the morning, cause like I said, I'm not gonna drive home, I'm laying on the living room floor. Some guy walks in and STEPS on my leg, and sits down on the couch. He looks behind him, knowing he stepped on me, and just turns back around. REALLY dude!? You know you stepped on me, and all you have to say is, "Oh". He doesnt even say sorry until Erica starts yelling at him and he says "I'm fucking sorry, okay!?" and walks away. Are you kidding me? This pisses me off sooo much. And do the party hosts say anything to this jerk? Nope. So we call erica's mom at 3 in the morning and she takes us home while I'm in the backseat crying cause that jerk really hurt my leg. UGH the whole night made me really mad, and I will NOT be going back to their house for a party.
This was my party rant for the day. More happened that I'm not completely clear about, and can't think of right now, but thats all I'm saying today. I just can't believe you let this stuff happen at your house when hosting a party. This would NEVER happen at my house. The End.
♥, me.

Dear Aunt Becky,
I love you. I love you sooo much. You have always been there for me, you have always been supportive of me, you have always understood me. And you have no idea how much I appreciate it. You were the first person in the family that I told I was gay, and you were so funny about it!
"Any special guys in your life?"
"Well... not really..."
"Oh... Ohhhh... or girls.. whatever!"
:) You always make a joke out of an awkward situation and make it so much better. You make it easy for me to talk to you about anything. Although we didn't really get that close until a couple years ago, I still appreciate everything you've done for me.
I remember staying the night at your apartment yeeeaarsss ago when you were with Sean, I must have been like 4 years old... i just remember you in the bathroom spraying your hair til it didn't move anymore! Haha, ♥ it!
You have always been such a great role model for me... you're such a positive person no matter what you're going through, and like I said before, you can make a joke out of anything. Even when I visited you in the hospital a couple days ago you were barely breathing, but still joking around and laughing. I love that about you.
I know you're in a lot of pain right now, and a lot is going on, but I'm praying for you and I want the best for you. Try to hang in there a little bit longer :) I love you so incredibly much... thanks for being there for me.
"I want jeep jeep weather!" :)
Love,
Ashley.
